Remember his Mom? She sat up there hunched over that adding machine doing the books. Great stuff!

Don was good friends with my late father. My dad introduced me to Don and Central Camera in the late ‘60s. One of my favorite places. They don’t make them that way any more. Let’s hope they reopen soon. Thanks for sharing.

May they rise like a phoenix. A good read, sad but with hope.
Thanks for posting, Randy.
They are apparently accepting donations of used equipment (From Facebook):

So many of you have reached out to donate items for our store. If you have any photographic equipment or supplies you’re interested in donating (working or non-working) please email centralcameradonations@gmail.com and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible to coordinate logistics. Thank you!"

Glad to see they are being resurrected. After a couple of decades of shopping there, I gave some coin to their Go Fund Me campaign. Money well spent I think.
Thanks,

Thanks for posting this. Out of suffering and struggle, there are often good things that may happen, too. Good to be reminded of them.... when they happen. THanks!

I found a 1921 catalog of Central on the same site. I bet he's gonna get a lot of good used treasure.
